THE SECRETARY OF WAR, 

IN COMPLIANCE

ments of the number of troops employed in the war with the Seminole 
Indians, 



February 21, 1838. 
Read, and ordered to be printed. 



Department of War, 

February 2U, 1838. 
Sir: By a resolution of the Senate of the 29th of December last, this 
department is required to state : 

1st. The number of troops, including allies, which have been employed 
in the war with the Seminole Indians, since its commencement to this time. 
2d. The number now in the service. 

3d. The authority under and by which allies have been employed, and 
the terms and conditions upon which they do or have served. 

4th. The amount of naval force which has been employed upon this ser- 
vice, and whether, and to what extent, it has been employed on land. 

5th. If steam vessels have been employed, how many, and for what kind 
of service. 

6th. The number of persons employed by the United States that have 
been killed, or have perished from wounds or other causes in the several 
campaigns. 

7th. The entire disbursement made by the United States to carry on this 
war up to this time. 

8th. The probable arrearages now due. 

9th. The whole number of Seminole population at the commencement 
of hostilities. 
10th. The number of warriors then. 

11th. The number of warriors killed, and the number taken prisoners 
by the troops of the United States. 

12th. The number that has come in and voluntarily surrendered, 

13th. The number of warriors who have emigrated. 

1 4th. The number still remaining. 

loth. The number of other classes who have emigrated. 
__16th. The number still remaining, 
Blair & Rives, printers, 



[ 226 J 2 

17th. The probable number of arms possessed by the Seminoles at ihe 
commencement of the war. 

18th. The sources from which they have obtained supplies of ammuni* 
(ion. 

Of these points of inquiry, the 1st, 2d, 6ih, 11th and 12th are answered 
by the accompanying report of the Adjutant General to the Commanding 
General of the army, marked A, with as much accuracy as the information 
possessed by the department will allow. 

The enclosed letter of the Secretary of the Navy, marked B, together 
with the report of the Adjutant General, already mentioned, furnish the best 
information in the possession of the department on the subject embraced in 
the 4th inquiry. 

The 5th inquiry is answered by the accompanying statement marked C, 
prepared by the Third Auditor. 

Such of the information specified in the 9th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 
16th points, as could be gathered from all the sources accessible to the de- 
partment, will be found in the report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs? 
herewith transmitted, and marked D. 

In answer to the 7th inquiry, I have the honor to state, that the entire dis- 
bursement for the purpose therein specified, amounted, at the date of the 
resolution, to $8,358,955 70, and at this time amounts to $1,000,000 more, 

in respect to the 8th inquiry, I remark, that all the arrearages due at the 
date of the resolution have since been paid. 

In reply to the 3d inquiry, I have the honor to state, that no allies have 
been employed by the Government, during the hostilities with the Seminole 
Indians. 

This department has no means of obtaining the information required by 
the 17th and 18th inquiries. 

An answer to this resolution would have been given before this time, had 
the great press of business, and the requisite laborious examinations, in the 
office of the Third Auditor, permitted that officer to complete at an earlier 
period the statement respecting the steamboats employed. 

Very respectfully, 

Your most obedient servant, 

J. R. POINSETT. 

Hon. R< M. Johnson, 

President of the Senate, 



A. 

Adjutant General's Office, 

Washington, January 27, 1838. 
Sir : In compliance with so much of the Senate's resolution of the 29th 
of December, 1837, as calls for " the number of troops, including allies, 
which have been employed in the war with the Seminole Indians, from its 
commencement to this time," I have to state that the regular force assigned 
to that service, at first inconsiderable, has from time to time been increased 
to nearly 5,000, and now amounts to about 4,500 officers and men ; but it 
should not be inferred that the efficient force of the regular army is repre- 
sented by the last mentioned number, as all the invalids, &c, are included,. 



3 



[ 226 ] 



The militia and volunteer force mustered into the service at various pe- 
riods from the commencement of Indian hostilities in Florida, is computed 
to be 15,290; including 9U0 Indian warriors. 

,; The number of troops now in service" may be computed as follows: 

1. Regulars and marines, about - - 4,500 

2. Militia and volunteers, about .... 2,855 

3. Sailors, about 100 

4. Indians, about 178 

Total 7,633 



The Georgia mounted volunteers, under General Nelson, supposed to be 
1.201) strong, are not included in the foregoing statement, returns and 
muster rolls of the same not having been received at this office; nor 
should this force, it is thought, be regarded as so much in addition to the 
above, (7,(333 ;) for, taking into consideration the chances of discharges in 
other volunteer corps, and the casualties incident to the general service in 
Florida, yet unknown at the War Department, it is possible that the force, 
as represented by the returns now on file, may not be entirely correct. 

2. In answer to so much of the same resolution as calls for "the num- 
ber of persons employed by the United States that have been killed, or have 
perished from wounds or other causes in the several campaigns," I have to 
state, that according to the several reports received at the Adjutant Gene- 
ral's office, it would appear that 18 officers and 157 men have been killed 
in action : of which number, 14 commissioned officers and 139 non- 
commissioned officers and men were of the regular army, 3 officers 
and 12 mm of the volunteers and militia, and i Indian officer and 6 
warriors, as "allies" in the service of the United States. The number 
reported to have -perished from wounds" is 10. The number that have 
perished from "other causes," (which may include the effects of climate,) 
is about 1.4 commissioned officers of the regular army ; and of the rank 
file, it is presumed, a like proportion, which cannot, at this time, be accu- 
rately stated. 

The information called for by the same resolution, at the tenth paragraph, 
expressed in the following language: "The number of warriors killed, 
and the number taken prisoners, by the troops of the United States, the 
number that has come in and voluntarily surrendered," cannot be correctly 
furnished in such manner as will correspond with the precise and varied 
classification of subjects, concerning which particular information is re- 
quired. The answer to this part of the resolution, therefore, can only be 
given in the language found in official communications, which do not, for 
the most part, separate and specify the several classes of Indians which 
have, fro u time to time, voluntarily surrendered, been taken prisoners, or 
otherwise fallen into our hands. 

Thus, from the various statements and reports received at the Adjutant 
General's office, from the commencement of Indian hostilities in Florida, 
in December, 1835, inclusive of November, 1836, it is seen that the number 
of Indians reported to have been killed is 131 ; the number of Indians, 
women, children, and negroes, taken prisoners within the same period, 15. 
The number of warriors cannot be separated from the mass, and, of course, 
cannot, with any accuracy, be specified. 



[ 226 ]

It may be proper to remark, there is reason to believe that the number of 
Indians reported to have been "killed," between the dates above specified, 
much exceeds the actual number, which, it is supposed, coi ld not have 
amounted to more than 70 or 80. 

In his letter of the 2lst of October, 1837, Major General Jesup states 
that, " my prisoners, since I commenced operations in December last, (1836,) 
amount to 500 black and red, and about 30 Indians and negroes have been 
killed; by which more than 200 rifles have been silenced." 

By the reports received from the Commanding General in Florida, sub- 
sequent to his communication of the 21st of October, above quoted, it ap- 
pears that 127 Indians, negroes, women, and children, have been taken by 
the army, 58 voluntarily surrendered, and 14 warriors killed. 

Respectfully submitted, 

R. JONES, 
Adjutant General of the Army. 

Maj. Gen. A. Macomb, 

Commanding-in-Chie .

Navy Department, 

February 6, 1838. 

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 
30th ultimo, and to state, in reply to it, that nearly all the naval force on the 
West India station has been occasionally employed in co-operation with 
the military forces in Florida since the commencement of hostilities with 
the Seminole Indians, cruising on the coasts of Florida and Cuba, for the 
purposes of preventing supplies to the Indians, and the removal of property 
captured by them, and of rendering such aid and succor to the inhabitants 
in that quarter as might be required. The steamers America, Izard, and 
Major Dade, and the revenue cutters Dallas, Washington, Jefferson, and 
Dexter, were placed under the orders of the commander of the West India 
squadron, (the former being officered and manned from the vessels of the 
squadron,) and have been actively employed in co-operation with the army. 
These vessels have been since the last summer withdrawn from the service ; 
the steamers being turned over to the War Department, and the revenue cut- 
ters restored to the revenue service.at the instance of the heads of the Treasjo* 
ry and War Departments. Recently, the cutters Jackson and Madison have 
been placed, by order of the President, temporarily .under the control of the 
Secretary of the Navy, and have been ordered to Florida for the purpose 
of co-operating with the army under the direction of Commodore Dallas. 

Several expeditions on land, composed of seamen and marines belonging 
to the squadron and commanded by officers of the navy, have been under- 
taken ; and Lieutenant Powell, of the navy, with about one hundred sea- 
men and ordinary seamen, is at this time, as you are aware, in command of 
a similar expedition, in co-operation with the army. The strength of that 
portion of the marine corps under the command of Colonel Henderson, em-

ployed in Florida, it is presumed, will be shown by the returns on file in 
the War Department. The services rendered by it are too well known to 
you to require a statement of them from me. 

I have the honor to be, sir,

Your obedient servant,

Office Indian Affairs, January 6, 1838. 
Sir : In obedience to your direction, I have the honor to submit a report 
on those parts of the resolution of the Senate, of December 29, 1837, which 
have been referred to this office. 

The whole number of the Seminole population was estimated, at the 
commencement of hostilities, at 3,000 ; no return of the number of warriors 
was made at that time, but assuming in this as in other cases every 
fifth one to be a warrior, it may be stated at 600. Of the 3,000, 407 have 
been removed ; males of 10 years and under 25, 41 ; of 25 and under 50, 
71 ; over 50, 19 ; of other classes, 276. 

In a letter from Lieutenant Casey, dated October 16, 1837, the whole 
number of the population is represented to be 5,000 ; of the warriors, 1,485, 
Very respectfully, 

Your obedient servant, 

C. A. HARRIS, 

Commissioner, 

Hon. J. R. -Poinsett, 

Secretary of War,
